Universal Wireless Repeater with dd-wrt [www.dd-wrt.com]
I have another wireless access point, a Netgear WRG614. Its not no upgradble. I wanted to link the routers so I had better signal coverage. There is a standard for this called WDS but the Netgear doesn't support it. Luckily the v24beta of dd-wrt has a wireless repeater mode.
I follwed the wiki instructions and I was successful but not before resetting the router quite a few times.
It seems that v23sp1 of dd-wrt supported https access for the web gui to configure the router. I turned this on, then upgraded to v23sp2. This did NOT support HTTPS web access and subsequently disabled ALL web access. At this point you can telnet into the router.
I luckly found advice to restore the web access. I had to actually restart the web server inside the router by doing
httpd -h /wwwAnyway don't upgrade to v23 at all if you want to use the wireless repeater feature since it only exists in v24beta. As always read the instructions!
